6,6'-Dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[(E,E')-(2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3-phenyl-ene)bis-(nitrilo-methanylyl-idene)]diphenol chloro-form
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(25)H(26)N(2)O(4)·CHCl(3), the aromatic rings of the imino-methyl-6-meth-oxy-phenol fragments make dihedral angles of 58.33 (6) and 87.74 (6)° with the central benzene ring. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, an inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the chloro-form solvent mol-ecule is observed. The crystal packing is further stabilized by π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.739 (3)-3.776 (3) Å] between the benzene rings of centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
